The helmet is a direct cast from the PP2 Fett helmet (from Rogue Studios) which is the actual helmet used in all the action figure packaging back in '78.
For those who don't know, this style casting is the most accurate in all fandom.

I'm slowly putting together a full size ESB Fett display.
It's going to be awhile before I get to painting this helmet, so in the meantime, I wanted to finish the interior as much as possible.

It's not an exact match (as I realize that is unrealistic) but it's definitely by far the most accurate attempt at an accurate screen used or production made Fett helmet to date.
I'm sure as time goes on, I'll continue to tweak it.

Here are some pics of the real deal screen used ESB hero.

And here is my replica so far. Still looking for the correct helmet liner (which happens to be the same as the type 2 ROTJ trooper helmets.

I don't think so. I think it's quite appropriate.
And no offense taken, but I disagree about the interior not being the challenge.
The exterior is just more work, but it's already been figured out.

Gino is going for exact replicas of what was used on screen. inside and out. It's different from what some of us set out to do with Boba.

Some have idealized versions of the character while others have versions that are virtually perfect visual representations of the character on screen and are functional so they can be trooped with. In some ways parts of the Boba suits were designed with a certain functionality but because they are hidden from view they may not look "cool" or futuristic.

I believe Gino stated at another point he does not troop with his suits. They don't need to be functional in that sense. What he is looking for something that is the closest as possible to what the actors in the films used. I think it's like trying to replicate a piece of artwork in a museum.

It doesn't matter what I think... but I happen to think what Gino does is very cool. It's yet another level of this hobby for someone to explore.

But I am still fascinated by your palpatine! Your avatar shows it: You perfectly nailed the expression and properties of his face! Looks exactly the same as in the movie!
Still hate you for not making copies of that! Just kidding bro!
